Dinsun Review
Scrap Divers reminds me of the simple flash games of the early 2000s, and I mean that as a compliment. It has one job: make you fall down a hole and avoid things. The controls are tight, which is the only thing that matters in a game like this. The retro-3D aesthetic is a nice touch—it doesn't try to look realistic, it just looks 'cool' in a chunky, low-poly way. It’s hard, which I appreciate. You’re going to die a lot. But the restart is fast, and the 'one more go' factor is actually present here. It’s not going to change your life, and the progression system is pretty basic, but it’s a honest-to-god video game that tests your reflexes instead of your credit card balance. It’s a bit repetitive after an hour, but for short bursts, it’s a solid bit of fun. Rare for mobile these days.
